This is a discussion on Hard Drop at 7000rpm in 1st within the General Maintenance, Troubleshooting & Accidents. forums, part of the Tech & Modifying & General Repairs category; I have an 06 wrx tr that's go a few mods. Ive noticed that as soon as I hit 7000rpm ...

I only wind up that high because I play it by ear and it never sounds like its reved up so high until the car lets me know, I had to watch it after a few times to see where it was happening. Idk what the rev limiter is set to I just bought it recently and didn't think to ask him that. Its only my second manual and my first was an 02 rsx-s which would go deep into the redzone without hitting the limiter so this is a new feeling to me that was scary as **** the first few times it happened

That's turbo's powerband is going to be between 4000 and 6000 rpm, so if you're racing you'll do better shifting at 6200 to 6500rpm.. plus, unless your heads are built it's not going to be good for them to rev that high anyways. Going "by ear" sounds like a good way to bend valves.

In the five years I've owned my current WRX I have never hit the rev limiter..
